Chicago, Jan. .10, 1913. Th supply
of cattle here Monday was 11,000
head and the total at the six lead
lag western points was 56,000. In
view of the decreased supplies and
cold weather, better tltiivgs were
thought to be in store for the beef
steer trade. However, the near ap
proach of Lent and the unseasonably
warm weather in the east proved a
big bar against a broad trade in
beef. Trading In main was at Itesdj
prk:es wits last week's close, al
though there were Instances where
the best heavy beeves showed a
gain of 10c. Kastern shipping out
let was very narrow and local dress
ed beef men did not get Into the
saddle until the forenoon was pretty
well gone. Rest beeves available

4H still gave evidences of liniita-
task of netting out. a story of legiV
IMlve doln with political color
ould find It a difficult Job. The'
sentiment among members of the
renin and the house is much divid
es', enouigh to give a plenty of spice,
but there is little pending legislation
that if of interest to partisans.
Since the first few days of organisa
tion and the make-up of the stand
ing committees no roll calls or votes
by division have shown who are dem
ocrats and who are republicans. Of
course there are moose ns in each
body but they act and vote Just as
though they were still devout repub
I cans, although It Is known that
tttcre is a pretty niTty little organ
ization of progressives in the upper
branch of the legislature and they
ore ready to show the faith that Is
in them when the occasion demands.
In the messages bf both the out
going and incoming governors there
were strong recommendations favor
ing the divorce of confirmed con
victs from first offenders. To this
end the penitentiary must be reor
ganized. A bill has been ifttroCea
in the house by Speaker Kellev pp.
Vlding for the egrSbTishmen't ol a
state -reformatory at Grand Island
Tl,u ut:ito owns SfiO acres of ground
now used in connection with the
SgUliars-How,- bsfr he home la
filled With veterans too old to use
the ground and but fifteen acres is
needed. It is aigued that the re
maining section could be used to
good advantage for the Junior state
prison and the land could be tilled
and produce a revenue. Warden
totting of the Kansas penitentiary
addressed the legislature a few days
ago and he stated that the Lincoln
penitentiary was situated in a swamp
that, was unsanitary and wholly out o
keeping with the intent of a penal
Inslitutlon. He says that his prison
ers false nearly all of the vegetables
that they use and beside making the
Institution self-supporting arc able
to do much toward supporting the
dependent members of their families.
The liveliest spat of the session
occurred when Fuller's telephone bill.
No. 3, was up for the consideration
In committee of the whole. The
bill would gtve the matter of tele
phone regulation into the hands of
county bonrds of commissioners or
supervisors and authorize them to
act within their counties in much
the same capacity that the railway
commission acts in the state. They
would establish rates and fix rules
fcr the transfer of messages. An
other bill has been introduced re
quiring, a connection of differ, tit tel
ephone companies and the transfer
of messages back and forth between
exchanges.

steady and the plainer classes wen
in dull request.
Arrivals at the six leading western
f markets the first hssf of this week
were 100.000 head, which showed a
decrease of 2H.000 from the same
period of last week and tin increase
of 1,000 over the corresponding per
iod of last year. Receipts at those
points for the year up to and includ
ing Wednesday of this week were
tilt", 000 head, which showed a tie
crease of 26,000 from the correspond
ing period of last year.
Beef grades of cows and heifers
went 15 to 25c higher than last
week's close, most sales at $5.25 to
$6.50. Blockers and feeders gained
10 to 15c, trading largely at 9.50 to
$7.25.
Good advice will always bear re
peating. Therelore, we again say:
Market the fat cattle as fast as con
venient, and hold for longer feeding
the good quality and thrifty grades
In partly fat condition. Present and
future market conditions warrant fol
lowing the foregoing policy.

Contract labor at the Nebraska
penitenliary received a hard blow
when ti resolution introduced by
Mather was adopted unanimously. It
provided that the labor of the prifl
oners shaii, hereafter, as far as pos
sible, be employed toward making
articles for the use of Inmates of
other state Institutions and for the
cultivation of farm land, etc., etc
it is apparent that a large major
ity of the legislators think that the
ultimate good of the state would be
best subserved In moving I lie univer
sity out to the state farm, but they
hesitate to vote us they think be
causes the expense would be so
great at once. The more conserva
tive advocates of removal favor put
ting the proxsitlcn up to the peo
ple under the Initiative law.
What is the matter with compell
ing the corporations to pay taxes to
support the state government? That
the question that many legislators
asking themselves and one an
other. Represents! ive Rotts is
